AbstractThe associations between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene polymorphisms and risk of type 2 diabetic retinopathy (DR) – proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), and nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) – remain unclear. A systematic search and meta-analysis using odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was performed to evaluate the association. Our study concluded 26 studies containing 10 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). In Asian populations, rs3025039 polymorphism was associated with DR risk, while in overall populations and Caucasians, the DR risk was increased by association with rs2010963. There was a significant association between rs25648 and rs833061 and DR risk in Caucasians. DR risks were found to be significantly associated between rs3025021, rs13207351, and rs2146323 in either overall populations, Caucasians or Asians. Besides, in overall and Asian populations, rs699947 and rs3025039 were associated with PDR risk. rs1570360, rs3025039, and rs833061 played a key role in PDR etiology in Caucasians. rs2010963 was associated with increased risk of PDR in overall populations. A significant association between rs699947, rs3025039, and rs833061 and NPDR risk in overall populations and Asians was found. A significant association was observed between rs2010963 and increased NPDR risk in overall and Caucasian populations. This study provides a new insight into the parthenogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. Targeting VEGF SNPs may be a potential of therapeutic approach for the treatment of DR, PDR, and NPDR.

Aims. Studies on the associations of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms with diabetic retinopathy (DR) susceptibility reported conflicting results. A systematic meta-analysis was undertaken to clarify this topic.Methods. A systematic search of electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, and CNKI) was carried out until March 31, 2016. The pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to assess the strength of the association.Results. A total of 7 studies fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included in this meta-analysis (649 cases and 707 controls). Pooled ORs showed a significant association between FokI polymorphism and DR risk in all the four genetic models (OR=1.612(1.354~1.921), 1.988 (1.481~2.668), 1.889 (1.424~2.505), and 2.674 (1.493~4.790) in allelic, dominant, recessive, and additive models, resp.,PZ<0.01), but not for TaqI or BsmI polymorphism (PZ>0.05). Similar results were found in the subgroup analysis. Sensitivity analysis indicated that the results were relatively stable and reliable. Results of Begg’s and Egger’s tests suggested a lack of publication bias.Conclusions. Our meta-analysis demonstrated that DR was significantly associated with VDR gene FokI polymorphism. However, due to the relatively small sample size in this meta-analysis, further studies with a larger sample size should be done to confirm the findings.

AbstractThe roles of interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene polymorphisms in diabetes mellitus (DM) have been intensively analyzed earlier, but the results of these studies were conflicting. Hence, we performed this study to better assess the relationship between IL-10 genetic variations and DM. Eligible studies were searched in PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Web of Science. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess correlations between IL-10 polymorphisms and DM. A total of 32 studies were finally included in our analyses. Significant associations with the risk of DM were detected for the rs1800871, rs1800872, and rs1800896 polymorphisms. As for complications in DM, significant association with the risk of diabetic nephropathy (DN) was detected for the rs1800871 polymorphism. In addition, we also found that the rs1800896 polymorphism was significantly associated with the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Further stratified analyses on the basis of type of disease demonstrated that the positive results were predominantly driven by the T2DM subgroup. When we stratified data based on ethnicity of participants, we found that the rs1800871 polymorphism was significantly correlated with DM in Caucasians, the rs1800872 polymorphism was significantly correlated with DM in Asians, and the rs1800896 polymorphism was significantly correlated with DM in both Caucasians and Asians. Our findings indicate that rs1800871, rs1800872, and rs1800896 polymorphisms may serve as genetic biomarkers of DM. Moreover, the rs1800871 and rs1800896 polymorphisms may also contribute to the development of complications in DM.
